Children are an incredibly important part of our community here at Fountain of Life. It is our goal to provide care for them that is safe, caring, and God-centered. The Children’s Ministry on Sunday Mornings is focused on two main areas – Nursery and Children’s Worship. Of course, families are welcome to keep their children with them in the service if so desired.
Nursery
Our nursery (for ages 0-3) is staffed by responsible, caring people whose goal is to serve you by safely caring for your precious children while you participate in the worship service.
With our service beginning at 10:00 a.m., there are nursery volunteers on duty at 9:45 a.m. to welcome you and your child. Our nursery is located in the second building.
We also offer a "Cry Room" that is located near the sanctuary where parents with younger children can care for them while enjoying the service by video. The cry room also contains a curtained area for moms to feed babies with privacy.
Children’s Worship
The Children’s Worship program takes place during the sermon portion of the Sunday service. Children from ages 3-7 are invited to begin in the main service with their parents. Then, during the "greeting time," parents escort their own children to the Children's Worship classroom in the back building. (First time visitors will complete a registration form.) Parents pick up their children from that same room during the offering time after the sermon.
In Children’s Worship, your child will learn sound biblical stories and teaching in a safe and caring environment, while surrounded by their peers. A typical lesson includes well-chosen songs, a monthly memory verse, a curriculum-guided lesson crafted around the sequential Bible stories, prayer, and some related coloring/craft time/game time.
The current curriculum being used on Sunday mornings is the thoughtful and delightful The Biggest Story curriculum. (thebiggeststory.com)
Special Needs
Children with special needs are also more than welcome at FOLF.
